Project 2: AI and Game-based Learning

AI and Game-based Learning

Digital games are very popular because they are fun to play. There is clear evidence that games have strong motivational properties, and when they are designed to support learning activities, students can learn while playing, that is, having fun and learning at the same time. Recent computing advances have enabled the rapid development and integration of AI into many activities that were previously not possible. In doing so, AI has empowered people to accomplish tasks more efficiently and effectively. This project explores how we can make games more supportive and engaging via AI-enhanced features. In short, we want to understand how to design and deploy AI-supported games to make them more fun and tailored to the needs of individual learners.
